Harris claims in the advertisement that «freedom» encompasses the capacity «not just to get by, but to get ahead.» the right to live without fear of gun violence. The autonomy to make choices regarding one’s own body.
«We choose for a world in which no kid experiences poverty. where health care is affordable for everyone. where everyone is subject to the law,» she claims.
«We are prepared to battle for America because we believe in its potential. Because we win when we fight. Join us, then.
Beyonce’s line, «I’ma keep running because a winner don’t quit on themselves,» concludes the commercial.
